The scenario
A neonatal anemia screening pathway uses hemoglobin, hematocrit, and reticulocyte count to distinguish hemolysis or blood loss from decreased red cell production and guide further testing.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Whether anemia is present by hemoglobin and hematocrit
02
Whether reticulocyte count is elevated to direct hemolysis versus hypoproliferative evaluation
Use when standardizing neonatal anemia workup in newborn care or teaching diagnostic branching based on reticulocyte response.
